Alive

After heartache 

My heart yearns for fickle butterflies 

While the uncertainties of love consume me

You are always on my mind, amusing me

In the blink of eye, 

I'd break my heart for you

You are mystery, that unravels the unknown

Consuming me in gallores 

For it isn't love that gives me joy

It is knowing that you're being loved that fills me with pride 

While you sleep in your velvet dreams 

Even glancing away from your face would be magical moment lost perpetually 

I'd rather be with you 

Than take another breath 

Sit by your side 

Sing for you; massage your feet with the warmth that you fill my soul with

Losing you would be suicide 

A thought: I love to push aside 

So be with me, God

While I salvage for my magical being 

I only want to give you all of what I am 

Even if that means losing myself 

Love is dangerous, so is life 

But It kills me, to not imagine you as my wife
